ABB Surge Arresters — Buyer´s Guide | Product information 3

Safe, secure and economic supply of electricity — with ABB surge arresters

Strong focus on quality at all stages, from raw material through to finished product, ensures that ABB surge arresters survive the designed stresses with ease and with good mar-gins. Different dimensions permit a large variety of standard arresters as well as client-specific solutions with regards pro-tection levels, energy capability and mechanical performance.

This Buyer’s Guide deals with high voltage surge arresters for standard AC applications. For other applications, such as series capacitors protection, shunt capacitor protection or DC applications, contact your ABB sales representative.

ABB surge arresters are the primary protection against atmospheric and switching overvoltages. They are generally connected in parallel with the equipment to be protected to divert the surge current. The active elements (MO resistors) of ABB surge arresters are manufactured using a highly non-linear ceramic resistor material, composed primarily of zinc oxide mixed with other metal oxides and sintered together.

Definitions

NOTE! The standards referred to hereunder are the latest editions of IEC 60099-4 and IEEE C62.11

Maximum system voltage (Us)The maximum voltage between phases during normal service.

Nominal discharge current (IEC)The peak value of the lightning current impulse which is used to classify the arrester.

Lightning classifying current (ANSI/IEEE)The designated lightning current used to perform the clas-sification tests.

Rated voltage (Ur)An arrester fulfilling the IEC standard must withstand its rated voltage (Ur) for 10 s after being preheated to 60 °C and subjected to energy injection as defined in the standard. Thus, Ur shall equal at least the 10-second TOV capability of an arrester. Additionally, rated voltage is used as a reference parameter. NOTE! TOV capability of ABB arresters exceeds the IEC requirements.

Duty-cycle voltage rating (IEEE)The designated maximum permissible voltage between its termi-nals at which an arrester is designed to perform its duty cycle.

Continuous operating voltageThe maximum permissible r.m.s. power frequency voltage that may be applied continuously between the arrester terminals. This voltage is defined in different ways (verified by different test procedures) in IEC and IEEE.

− IEC (Uc) IEC gives the manufacturer the freedom to decide Uc. The value is verified in the operating duty test.

− IEEE (MCOV) IEEE lists the maximum continuous operating voltage (MCOV) for all arrester ratings used in a table. The value is used in all tests specified by IEEE.

Temporary overvoltages (TOV)Temporary overvoltages, as differentiated from surge over-voltages, are oscillatory power frequency overvoltages of relatively long duration (from a few cycles to hours). The most common form of TOV occurs on the healthy phases of a system during an earth-fault involving one or more phas-

es. Other sources of TOV are load-rejection, energization of unloaded lines, ferroresonance, etc. The TOV capability of the arresters is indicated with prior energy stress in the relevant catalogues.

Residual voltage/Discharge voltageThe peak value of the voltage that appears between the ter-minals of an arrester during the passage of discharge current through it. Residual voltage depends on both the magnitude and the waveform of the discharge current. The voltage/cur-rent characteristics of the arresters are given in the relevant catalogues.

Arrester class − Distribution class arrester (IEC designations: DL, DM,

DH) An arrester intended for use on distribution systems, typically of Us ≤ 52 kV, to protect components pri-marily from the effects of lightning.

− Station class arrester (IEC designations: SL, SM, SH) An arrester intended for use in stations to protect the equipment from transient overvoltages, typically but not only intended for use on systems of Us ≥ 72,5 kV.

Energy capabilityThe energy that a surge arrester can absorb, in one or more impulses, without damage and without loss of thermal stability. The energy capability of a surge arrester is different depending on the type, duration and grouping of applied im-pulses as well as what occurs afterwards. Arrester standards have historically not explicitly defined the energy capability of an arrester, and the current editions have specifically focused on attempting to resolve this deficiency in the following forms (IEC 60099-4 definitions):

− Repetitive charge transfer rating, Qrs The maximum specified charge transfer capability of an arrester, in the form of a single event or group of surges that may be transferred through an arrester without causing mechanical failure or unacceptable electrical degradation to the MO resistors. This applies to both station and distribu-tion class arresters.

− Thermal charge transfer rating, Qth The maximum specified charge that may be transferred through an arrester or arrester section within 3 minutes in a thermal recovery test without causing a thermal runaway. This applies only to distribution class arresters.


− Thermal energy rating, Wth The maximum specified energy, given in kJ/kV of Ur, that may be injected into an arrester or arrester section within 3 minutes in a thermal recovery test without causing a ther-mal runaway. This applies only to station class arresters.

Short-circuit capabilityThe ability of an arrester, in the event of an overload due to any reason, to conduct the resulting system short-circuit current without violent shattering which may damage nearby equipment or injure personnel. After such an operation, the arrester must be replaced. The system short-circuit current may be high or low depending on the system impedance and earthing conditions and hence short-circuit capability is veri-fied at different current levels.

External insulation withstand strengthThe maximum value of the applied voltage of a specified wave shape which does not cause the flashover of an arrester. Unlike other equipment, arresters are designed to discharge internally and the voltage across the housing can never ex-ceed the protective levels. Thus, the external insulation of ar-rester housings is self-protected and need not fulfill a certain standardized insulation class provided its insulation withstand strength is higher than the protective levels by a designated safety factor and appropriately corrected for installation alti-tude.

NOTE! The insulation withstand of ABB surge arresters has been thoroughly considered in the design, and spacings be-tween metal flanges as well as spacings between flanges and grading rings are sufficiently large to withstand overvoltages appearing during current discharges. All ABB arresters are suitable for installations up to at least 1000 m above sea level, often with a large margin.

Pollution performanceIEC 60815 defines five levels of pollution (from very light to very heavy), with the traditional correspondingly required creepage for porcelain housings as indicated in the table below.

b Light (L) 16 27.8

c Medium (M) 20 34.7

d Heavy (H) 25 43.3

e Very heavy (V) 31 53.7

Polymeric insulators of hydrophobicity transfer material (HTM), e.g. silicone, present advantages including a generally improved pollution withstand behaviour when compared to similar ceramic insulators of equal creepage distance. From a pollution withstand or flashover point of view, a reduced creepage distance may be used on PEXLIM and TEXLIM ar-resters with such HTM insulators.

The creepage distance is the length measured along the housing’s external profile and serves as a measure of the arrester performance in polluted environments with respect to the risk of external flashover. Since the mean diameter for all the standard arresters is less than 300 mm, the spe-cific creepage distance is the same as the nominal creepage distance.

SLLSpecified long-term load allowed to be continuously applied during service without causing any mechanical damage to the arrester.

SSLSpecified short-term load allowed to be applied during service for short periods and for relatively rare events without causing any mechanical damage to the arrester.

MBLMean breaking load is the average breaking load for porce-lain-housed arresters.


DefinitionsLine Surge Arresters (LSA)

BackflashoverOccurs when lightning strikes the tower structure or overhead shield wire. The lightning discharge current, flowing through the tower and tower footing impedance, produces potential differences across the line insulation. If the line insulation strength is exceeded, flashover occurs i.e. a backflashover. Backflashover is most prevalent when tower footing imped-ance is high.

Compact insulation linesTransmission lines with reduced clearances between phases and between phase and earth and with lower insulation level withstand than for normal lines for the same system voltage.

Coupling factorThe ratio of included surge voltage on a parallel conductor to that on a struck conductor. This factor is determined from the geometric relationships between phase and ground (or protected phase conductors). A value often used for estima-tion purposes is 0.25.

Keraunic levelNumber of annual thunderstorm days for a given region.

LSALine Surge Arresters are intended for installation in overhead lines in parallel to the line insulators in order to prevent flash-overs, which may be either:

− non-gapped line arrester (NGLA) arrester without internal or external series gap

− externally gapped line arrester (EGLA) arrester with series gap used to protect an insulator as-sembly from lightning-caused fast-front overvoltages only

NOTE! PEXLINK is a NGLA

ShieldingProtection of phase conductors from direct lightning strokes; generally, by means of additional conductor(s) running on the top of the towers and grounded through the tower structures.

Shielding angleThe included angle, usually between 20 to 30 degrees, be-tween shield wire and phase conductor.

Shielding failureOccurs when lightning strikes a phase conductor of a line pro-tected by overhead shield wires.

Tower footing impedanceThe impedance seen by a lightning surge flowing from the tower base to true ground. The risk for backflashover in-creases with increasing footing impedance.

Travelling wavesOccur when lightning strikes a transmission line span and a high current surge is injected on to the struck conductor. The impulse voltage and current waves divide and propagate in both directions from the stroke terminal at a velocity of approximately 300 meters per microsecond with magnitudes determined by the stroke current and line surge impedance.

Matching the system characteristics

Arrester rated voltage (Ur)For each system voltage, the tables ”Guaranteed protective data” show a range of Ur and maximum continuous operating voltages Uc, all of which are capable of withstanding the ac-tual continuous operating voltage (Uca) with sufficient margin. Hence, the selection of Ur is only a function of the applied temporary overvoltages, TOV, (Utov), taking into account their amplitudes and duration.

TOV, as differentiated from surge overvoltages, are oscillatory power frequency overvoltages, with or without harmonics, of relatively long duration (from a few cycles to hours or longer) which are generated by system events. The arresters must withstand the heat energy generated by them.

Most commonly, a single or two-phase earth fault leads to a TOV in the healthy phase(s) and also in the neutral of Y-connected transformers. Its amplitude is determined by the system earthing conditions and its duration by the fault-clear-ance time.

If the earth-fault factor, (k) = Utov/Uca, is 1.4 or less, the system is considered to be effectively earthed. Generally, this implies a solid connection of the neutral to the earth grid. All other forms of earthing via an impedance or a non-earthing of the neutral is considered as non-effective with, typically, k = 1.73

For effectively earthed systems, the fault-clearance time is generally under 1 s but it can vary widely among different systems. The catalogues list the values of TOV capability for 1 and 10 s duration after a prior energy stress (as a conserva-tive approach). For other durations or for specific TOV condi-tions, follow the procedure hereunder:

− Consider each TOV separately. − From the TOV curves, read off the TOV strength factor (Tr)

for the time corresponding to the fault-clearance time. − Utov/Tr gives the minimum value of Ur for withstanding this

TOV. Choose the next higher standard rating. − The final choice of Ur will be the highest of the Ur values

obtained from the above calculations for each TOV.

Non-effective ≤ 1 h ≤ 170 ≥ 1.24 x Us

Table 1.

The table gives a suggested minimum value of the arrester rated volt-

age (Ur). based on common parameters. In each case, choose the next

higher standard rating as given in the catalogue. This is only intended

as a general guide, and actual Ur necessary may depend on the specific

parameters of the system and the chosen arrester.

Note: Do not select a lower value of Ur than obtained as above unless the parameters are known more exactly; other-wise the arrester may be over-stressed by TOV.

Energy capability and Arrester Class designationIEC classifies arresters by their application and nominal discharge current. Station class 10 and 20 kA arresters are further classified by energy capability expressed as a repeti-tive charge transfer rating and thermal energy rating. These arresters are thereafter designated as either SL, SM, or SH where the letters “L”, “M” and “H” in the designation stand for “low”, “medium” and “high” duty, respectively.

Energy capability of ABB arresters: The normal application range is only a

guide, and depends on the specific parameters.

Though the energy capability is mentioned in a different man-ner in IEEE, the normal range of application as above applies even for IEEE systems. For specific and special cases, e.g. capacitor banks, it may be necessary to calculate the energy capability differently; for example as shown in the IEC 60099-5 and other guides.

Protection levels (Upl and Ups)For insulation coordination purposes, consider the lightning impulse protection level (Upl) at 10 kA for Um ≤ 362 kV and at 20 kA for higher voltages. Similarly, the switching impulse protection levels (Ups) for coordination purposes range from 0.5 kA (for Um ≤ 170 kV) to 2 kA (for Um ≥ 362 kV). The values can be read-off from the catalogue tables or easily computed from Table 3. In the latter case, they must be rounded upwards.

Table 3. Upl and Ups ratios for ABB arresters



Protection marginsProtection margins (in %), calculated at coordinating impulse currents as per Table 3, are defined as follows:

− Margin for lightning impulses = ((LIWV/Upl)-1) x 100, where LIWV is the external insulation withstand of the equipment against lightning impulses.

− Margin for switching impulses = ((SIWV/Ups)-1) x 100 where SIWV is the external insulation withstand of the equipment for switching impulses.

Note: IEEE standards refer to LIWV as BIL and SIWV as BSL.

Margins are normally excellent due to the low Upl, Ups and also that most equipment at present have high external insula-tion withstand. However, depending on the electrical distance between the arrester and the protected equipment, the Upl margin is reduced and thus arresters fail to protect equipment that is not in the close vicinity of the arresters, i.e. within their protection zone. The flexible erection alternatives for PEXLIM arresters may be of benefit in reducing the distance effects. Ad-ditional line-entrance arresters may help too. For more detailed information, please refer to separate ABB technical publication regarding application guidelines for station protection.

Note! The ”distance effect” reduction does not apply to Ups mar-gin since the front-time of a switching surge impulse is longer.

It is recommended that the protection margins (after taking into account the ”distance effect”) should be of the order of 20% or more to account for uncertainties and possible reduction in the withstand values of the protected equipment with age.

Should the selected arrester type not give the desired protection margins, the selection should be changed to an arrester of a higher designated energy class, which auto-matically leads to lower Upl.

Note! Do NOT use a lower-than selected Ur to attempt im-provement of the margins, as this may lead to unacceptably low TOV capability.

As an additional assistance in selection, please refer to the simplified flow chart at the beginning of this chapter. The MO resistor column must be suitably housed to withstand long-term effects of the system loading and the environ-mental stresses.

External creepage distanceIEC 60815 defines the minimum creepage distances for differ-ent environmental conditions. Select the housing to give the desired creepage — the same as for the other equipment in the same location. If the specific creepage demand exceeds 31 mm/kV, please refer to ABB for a special design.

PEXLIM and TEXLIM arresters, having a highly hydrophobic housing, are better suited for extremely polluted areas than EXLIM arresters and a lower creepage may be justified in many cases.

Table 4. Permissible mechanical loading for ABB arresters

Mechanical strengthSurge arresters are an active protective device, which means they are not inherently intended to be permanently mechanically loaded in service. Naturally their design includes consideration to withstanding rarely-occurring and short-term mechanical loads (e.g. external short-circuit, gust winds, earthquake, etc) as well as more likely and long-term mechanical loads (e.g. conductor weight, static wind, etc). However, such loads should always be limited as much as possible though proper installation.

All ABB arrester designs exhibit very high strength under tensile or compression loading; hence it is the cantilever loading that is of interest in defining mechanical strength. To be applicable to different arrester lengths, the loading is given in terms of bending moment in this guide. The line terminal and the insulating base (when supplied) match or exceed the strength of the arrester housing.

Standard arresters are intended for vertical, upright erection on a structure and require no bracing. Pedestal-mounted arresters with mechanical strength higher than listed can be quoted on request. Special arresters for suspension, inverted mounting or other angular erection are also available.

Due to their otherwise advantageous flexible construction, PEXLIM arresters may exhibit a visible deflection at the line-end under maximum terminal loading. Such deflection

is nevertheless limited by our specified value for long-term load (SLL) given in Table 4. This maximum recommended continuous loading ensures that the electrical and mechanical functions of the arrester are not impaired in any way, even during long-term cyclic loading. Importantly, the value for specified short-term load (SSL) can be upheld even after such cyclic loading.

If the permissible bending moment for a certain arrester appears insufficient for a given loading, consider one of the following methods to reduce the loading demand.

− Use lighter terminal clamps and/or optimized tee-offs for arresters. In contrast to the current capability (and thus the size of clamps and conductors) required for other substation equipment, the continuous current through an arrester is of the order of only a few mA. Hence, using a lighter terminal clamp and/or connecting the arresters by lighter and more vertical tee-offs can considerably reduce the demand for mechanical strength.

− Use another erection alternative (suspension, under-hung, etc). Since PEXLIM arresters are very light com-pared to equivalent porcelain-housed arresters, they per-mit innovative erection alternatives, which could reduce the bending moment demands. This in turn can lead to the additional benefit of lighter structures with subse-quent reduced costs, or even the complete elimination of the need for a separate structure at all.



Neutral-ground arresters For neutral-ground arresters the recommended rated voltage is approximately the maximum system voltage divided by √3. The recommended neutral-ground arresters in the relevant sections are calculated for unearthed systems with relatively long fault duration. The electrical characteristics are identi-cal to standard catalogue arresters with the corresponding rated voltage. For such arresters, Uc is zero since they are not subject to any continuous voltage stress during normal service conditions. The neutral-ground arresters should pref-erably be of the same type as the phase-ground arresters. For resonant-earthed systems with long radial lines special considerations must be taken and a higher rated voltage (20% to 40%) than listed may be necessary.

Type designationThe type designation itself gives detailed information of the arrester and its application. See the figure below. As stan-dard, the arresters are meant for upright vertical erection. For under-hung erection, when desired, the type designation has the suffix letter ”H”. For other angular erection, please inform us at order. For non-standard arresters the type designation will have additional suffix letters, for example:

E Non-standard electrical data

M Non-standard mechanical data

P Non-standard metal-oxide columns

s

For line surge arresters, letter to be added here.

Y

Special applicationsPlease consult your nearest ABB representative for help in se-lection of arresters for special applications such as protection of shunt or series capacitor banks, cables and cable-aerial junctions, rotating machines, traction systems, overhead lines, HVDC or for non-standard arrester ratings or extreme me-chanical demands.

Ordering data for arrestersThe following information, at a minimum, is required with your order:

− Quantity and type designation − Rated voltage − Type of line terminal − Type of earth terminal − Type of surge counter, if any − Type of insulating base, if any.

(Insulating base is required if surge counter and/or leakage current measurements are desired. One base is required for each arrester.)

2. According to table 2, a common choice selection for 145 kVrms would be a Arrester Class designation SL arrester, i.e. PEXLIM R. This arrester has a Upl/Ur of 2.59, i.e. Upl of 280 kVpeak at 10 kA (according to table 3). With a LIWV of 650 kVpeak this would give a protective margin of (650/280-1)x100 = 132%.

3. This margin appears to be excellent but it must be noted that, after considering distance effect and possible insula-tion ageing, the margin could be reduced to below 20% depending on the impinging impulse steepness and ampli-

tude. Thus, it is very important that the arrester is installed as close as possible to the protected object.

4. If the margin is considered insufficient, choose a higher class designation arrester, e.g. PEXLIM Q, with the same rated voltage 108 kV.

5. With a required creepage distance of 3625 mm, i.e. 25 mm/kV SCD, a H145 housing is suitable from the range.

6. The type designation of the selected arrester will then be: PEXLIM R108-YH145 (or PEXLIM Q108-YH145)


Design featuresPorcelain-housed arresters EXLIM

Each arrester is built up of one or more units. Each unit is a porcelain housing containing a single column of MO resis-tors (blocks), all individually extensively routine-tested during manufacture, dispersed with the necessary spacers as deter-mined by the electrical design for the arrester. It is necessary, therefore, that the units are series-connected at site in the pre-determined order as marked on the units. Consult the installation instructions supplied with each arrester.

Longer arresters often require (and are supplied with) external grading rings to maintain a uniform and acceptable voltage stress along their length. Operation of such arresters without the grading rings, therefore, may lead to failure and invalidates our guarantees/warranties.

The standard porcelain color is brown but grey porcelain is supplied on request.

Seaworthy packing of the arresters is standard.

Sealing and pressure-relief functionThe flanges are cemented to the porcelain and enclose also the sealing arrangement. Please see the figures herein. For satisfactory performance, it is important that the units are hermetically sealed for the lifetime of the arresters. The sealing arrangement at each end of each unit consists of a pre-stressed stainless steel plate with a rubber gasket. This plate exerts a continuous pressure on the gasket against the surface of the insulator and ensures effective sealing even if the gasket ”sets” due to ageing. It also serves to fix the column of the blocks in the longitudinal direction by means of springs. The sealing is verified for each unit after manufacture in routine tests.

The sealing plate is designed to act also as an over-pressure relief system. Should the arrester be stressed in excess of its design capability, an internal arc is established. The ionized gases cause rapid increase in the internal pressure, which

The design is based on successful experience of over 75 years, first as gapped SiC arresters, in all climates and conditions all over the world. EXLIM arresters live up to their name: EXcellent voltage LIMiters. The design is robust and well-matched with the other apparatus in substations.

in turn causes the sealing plate to flap open and the ionized gases to flow out through the venting ducts. Since the ducts at the two ends are directed towards each other, this results in an external arc; thus relieving the internal pressure and preventing a violent shattering of the insulator.

Mechanical StrengthThe mechanical strength of the housing is defined in accor-dance with IEC 60099-4. Thus the guaranteed mean break-ing load (MBL) is at least 20% above the specified figure for short-term service load (SSL). The insulating base (when supplied) matches the strength of the housing.

The specified long-term load (SLL) should be limited to 40% of the SSL in accordance with IEC 60099-4.

Arresters with mechanical strength higher than listed are quoted on request.

Mechanical loading — Horizontal (cantilever) loadThe maximum permissible continuous horizontal load is calcu-lated as the maximum continuous (static) moment divided by the distance between the base of the arrester and the centre of the terminal load.

The continuous current through an arrester is of the order of a few mA. Hence, using a lighter terminal clamp and/or con-necting the arrester by a lighter tee-off considerably reduces the demand for mechanical strength.

Installation, maintenance and monitoringStandard EXLIM arresters are intended for vertical, upright erection on a structure and require no bracing. Special EXLIM arresters for suspension, inverted mounting or other angular erection are available on request.

EXLIM arresters are easy to install following the instructions packed with each arrester. Installation does not need any special tools or instruments. Properly chosen and installed arresters are practically maintenance-free for their lifetime and do not need any monitoring. However, if such monitor-ing is demanded, it is easily performed online by using the EXCOUNT-II with it’s built-in features for correctly measuring the resistive leakage current.

Design featuresPolymer-housed arresters PEXLIM and TEXLIM

PEXLIM and TEXLIM arresters use the same MO resistors as the EXLIM arresters and match their electrical performance. Silicone as outer insulation material has been used for over 30 years with good results and has been chosen by ABB for arresters as well. It confers the additional benefits of low weight, improved pollution performance, increased personnel safety and flexibility in erection.

Design featuresMoulded PEXLIM design

Design HighlightsEach arrester is built-up of one or more units, which in turn may be made up of one or more modules. Each module contains a single column of MO resistors (blocks), which are extensively individually routine-tested during manufacture, dispersed with the necessary spacers as determined by the electrical design for the arrester. The modules are standardized into different sizes based on electrical, mechanical and process consider-ations.

ABB employs a unique patented design to enclose the blocks in each module under axial pre-compression in a cage formed of fibreglass reinforced loops fixed between two yokes which also serve as electrodes. A protective fibre-winding is then wound over the loops resulting in an open cage design for the module. This results in high mechanical strength and excellent short-circuit performance. See the figures hereunder.

Each module is then passed through a computer-controlled cleaning and priming process. The module is then loaded in a highly automated vulcanizing press and silicone injected at a high pressure and temperature (HTV process) to com-pletely bond to the active parts, leaving no internal voids or air spaces. Individual modules are thereafter assembled into units and routine tested before packing and dispatch.

For satisfactory performance, it is important that the units are hermetically sealed for the lifetime of the arresters. The HTV moulding process under vacuum ensures this by bonding along the entire length from electrode to electrode. There is no air or any gas entrapped between the active parts and the housing. Hence, gaskets or sealing rings are not required.

Should the arrester be electrically stressed in excess of its design capability, an internal arc will be established. Due to the open cage design, it will easily burn through the soft sili-cone material, permitting the resultant gases to escape quickly and directly. At the same time, the fibre-windings prevent the explosive expulsion of the internal components.

Hence, special pressure-relief vents are not required for this design; with the fail-safe short-circuit capability well verified by short-circuit tests in accordance with IEC/IEEE.

Design featuresHigh strength TEXLIM tube design

Design highlightsThe basic concept is the replacement of the porcelain housing used with EXLIM arresters by a fibreglass tube housing onto which the silicone sheds are vulcanized and metal flanges are integrated. The internal arrangement and the pressure-relief devices are similar to those for EXLIM arresters.

For satisfactory performance, it is important that the units are hermetically sealed for the lifetime of the arresters. The sealing arrangement at each end of each unit is shown in the figure hereunder and consists of a pre-stressed stainless steel plate with a rubber gasket. This plate exerts a continu-ous pressure on the gasket against the inner surface of the flanges and ensures effective sealing even if the gasket “sets” due to ageing. It also serves to fix the column of the blocks in the longitudinal direction by means of heavy spring washers.

To maintain the interior free of any humidity, the unit is evacu-ated after the sealing plate and gaskets are fitted and then filled with dry air at low dew point. Additionally, a small bag of a desiccant is placed in each unit during assembly. Sealing is verified for each unit after manufacture during routine tests.

The sealing plate is designed to also act as an over-pressure relief system. Should the arrester be electrically stressed in excess of its design capability, an internal arc is established. The ionized gases cause a rapid increase in the internal pressure, which in turn cau-ses the sealing plate to flap open and the ionized gases to flow out through openings in the flanges. Since the openings at the two ends are directed towards each other this results in an exter-nal arc; thus relieving the internal pressure and preventing a violent breaking of the insulator.

Cutaway view of a typical TEXLIM unit showing the internal arrangements.

In special cases with very high demands for mechanical strength, the moulded design may not provide the optimal solution — particularly at system voltages above 420 kV. Instead, what is required is a mix between the features of the standard EXLIM and the moulded PEXLIM designs. The TEXLIM tube design provides this by offering comparable mechanical strength to EXLIM arresters, but with much less mass. The seismic and pollution performance is in line with the moulded PEXLIM arresters and thus superior to conventional porcelain designs.


Silicone as an insulator

All PEXLIM and TEXLIM arresters utilize silicone for the external insulation. Silicone rubber is highly hydrophobic and resistant to UV radiation and has been shown to be the best insulation (compared to both porcelain and other polymers) based on world wide independent laboratory and field tests. ABB uses special fillers to enhance these properties as well as giving it high pollution resistance, tracking resistance and fire-extinguishing features. The silicone housing is available only in grey color. For additional information, please refer to publication 1HSM 9543 01-06en.

In a form-fit-function comparison, PEXLIM is the most optimized and cost-effective of the available polymer designs. A separately defining criteria often becomes the mechanical strength demands. TEXLIM would seemly have the advantage in this regard, and it could be that specific applications do require a very strong com-posite tube solution. However, mechanical loads should always be limited as much as possible though proper installation using good engineering practices, and by so doing, the PEXLIM design remains the first choice for the vast majority of applications.


Installation, maintenance and monitoring

All ABB arresters are easy to install following the instructions packed with each arrester. Installation does not need any special tools or instruments.

The units of multiple-unit arresters must be series-con-nected at site in a pre-determined order as marked on the units and explained in the instructions that are packed in each case. An incorrect assembly may lead to failure and invalidates our warranty.

The design of tall arresters often requires external grading rings to maintain a uniform and acceptable voltage stress along their length. Such rings are included in the delivery of arresters. Installation or operation of such arresters without these grading rings may lead to failure and invalidates our warranty.

Properly chosen and installed arresters are practically mainte-nance-free for their lifetime and do not need any monitoring. However, if such monitoring is desired, it is easily performed online by using EXCOUNT-II with its built-in features for diag-nostic analysis of resistive leakage current. More information is available in the chapter dealing with accessories.


Line surge arresters PEXLINKThe concept

Both large and small public/private utility owners of transmission systems face a sharpened competitive situation which demands increased availability and reliability of the systems. Consumers have become more demanding as their processes are dependent on constant and reliable energy supply of good quality.

In many countries, it has also been increasingly difficult to obtain permission to build new lines of normal dimensions. Hence, new lines under construction may mostly be ”com-pact-insulation” lines. This, in turn, requires optimal control of overvoltages caused by lightning or switching events. Surge arresters installed along the line or at a few selected criti-cal towers, in this case, may be an attractive solution or a complement to other means.

Improvement in the reliability and availability of a transmission system can be obtained in one or more of the following ways:

1. Duplication of the system (more than one line)This is a very expensive method and often impractical.

2. Increased insulation withstand.It can both be expensive and create other problems such as the need for increased insulation of station equipment.

3. Improved footing impedanceOften difficult and expensive, especially in hilly terrain.

4. Shield wiresIf the provision was not in the original tower design, it can be expensive to retrofit such shielding. It helps eliminate a large number of interruptions, but it may not be enough to obtain the now-demanded degree of reliability.

5. Protection of line insulation by surge arresters Surge arresters connected in parallel with them at selected towers. In this application usually the term line surge arresters (LSA) is used. Protection using polymer-housed arresters (ABB type PEXLIM) along with additional accessories for fixing the arresters across the insulators and providing automatic discon-nection of the arresters in the event of their being overstressed is called the PEXLINK concept. This method is simple, cost-effective and, in many cases, an attractive alternative to the methods mentioned above.

PEXLINKABB’s protection philosophy

ABB’s philosophy is to provide protection for line insulation at selected locations by using standard available components. The main item is the gapless silicone polymer-housed arrester, PEXLIM, with metal-oxide (MO) active elements. Such arresters have been used for many years for protection of equipment in substations and hence their protective performance and reliability is well-known.

The low weight permits installation on existing structures and the polymer housing gives increased safety of the line equip-ment as well as people and animals which may be in the vicin-ity of the lines during overstress conditions.

With regard to lightning energy, line arresters are exposed to more severe conditions than arresters placed in substations. The latter are benefited by the reduction of surge steepness due to line corona effect and reduction in surge amplitude as the lightning current finds parallel paths through shielding wires, flashover and parallel lines. Thus, it is necessary to ensure that the MO resistors of the LSA are not under-dimensioned from an energy and current point-of-view. A computer program is used to determine the optimum number of locations (generally where the footing impedance is high) and to calculate the arrester stresses at each of the chosen locations.

The design permits installation using standard transmission-line hardware normally available locally. The design also per-mits mounting at different positions based on tower geometry and conductor spacing.

If very high availability is desired, a very large number of loca-tions may have to be protected, mainly due to the unpredictable nature of lightning. In such a case it may not be economically justified to select arresters with ”sufficient energy capability” and instead a higher failure rate may be acceptable.

To ensure quick, safe, automatic and controlled disconnection of a failed arrester, ABB uses a special disconnecting device with a suitable link, often in the earthing circuit of the arresters.

The recommended earth lead is designed to withstand the short-circuit currents and the disconnecting device is tested to ensure no false operations. Thus, at a failure, the tripped line does not have to be locked-out and attended to immediately.

Line surge arresters, incorporating PEXLIM Q arresters and disconnecting devices on earth leads, erected on ESKOM 300 kV system in South Africa.


PEXLINKApplication

Increased line availabilityBy locating the PEXLINK on sections of lines with high footing im-pedance towers and one additional low footing-impedance tower at each end of the section, PEXLINK protects existing shielded and non-shielded lines from abnormal lightning surges (frequent or high amplitudes) and reduces the outages.

The reduced outages are beneficial also indirectly in that sensitive equipment is not damaged and the circuit breakers overhaul interval can be increased. Thus, total maintenance costs are also reduced.

This protection may be used for all system voltages where the stated abnormal conditions exist. Arresters with mod-erate energy capability are often sufficient. However, the high-current capability must be large and distribution-type arresters may not be suitable.

The diagram shows overvoltages phase-ground generated by three-phase reclosing of 550 kV, 200 km transmission line with a previous ground fault. For long EHV lines pre-insertion resistors traditionally are used to limit switching overvoltages. Surge arresters, as a robust and efficient alternative, could be located at line ends and along the line at selected points.

Switching overvoltage controlFor long EHV lines, surge arresters usually are located at line-ends. In addition, by locating arresters at one or more points along the line e.g. at midpoint or 1/3 and 2/3 line length switching surge overvoltages and thus line insulation require-ments could be limited without using preinsertion resistors. Arresters used for this type of application should be designed for high energy capability, especially at the receiving end of the line.

Compact-insulation linesArresters placed in parallel with line insulators permit a large degree of compacting of a transmission line with lower right-of-way costs as a result.

Line upgradingThe existing insulation level of a line, when suitably protected by arresters, may be upgraded for service at a higher system voltage leading to greater power transfer without much ad-ditional capital cost.

Extended station protectionBy locating arresters on towers near a substation, the risk of backflashovers near the station is eliminated. This results in reduction of steepness and amplitude of incoming travelling waves, thus improving the protection performance of station arresters and eliminating the need for additional expensive metal-enclosed arresters even for large GIS.

Substitute for shield wiresIn cases where provision of shield wires is not practical physi-cally or is very expensive, e.g. very long spans, very high tow-ers etc, arresters are a good and economical substitute.

Arresters located in all phases on each tower eliminate the need for both shield wires and good footing impedance and may be economically justified in cases where the cost of re-duction in footing impedance and the cost of overhead shield wire are very high.

PEXLINKFeatures

Lightning discharge capabilityIn general, arresters on lines are subjected to higher energy and current stresses caused by lightning than arresters in-stalled in stations. Furthermore, the associated waveform and durations differ considerably from those specified for station arrester applications. Thus, line arresters are defined in terms of their lightning discharge capability, and PEXLIM arresters perform well in this regard.

The disconnecting device is carefully chosen to perform its function only at the overload of the arrester.

The separation of the disconnector is quick and effective and the method of connection advised by ABB in each particular case ensures that neither the disconnected conductor nor the damaged arrester cause any interference with other live parts. Thus, after a failure, the line can be re-charged without attending to it immediately.

The disconnection is easily visible from the ground and thus locating it is simple for the maintenance crew.

Easy to install The PEXLIM arresters are built-up of optimum-length modules and hence can be easily designed for use on various voltages. They are light and easily transported up the towers.

Quality control and testing

ABB is certified to fulfil the requirements of ISO 9001

Type testsType (design) tests have been performed in accordance with IEC 60099-4. Test reports are available on request.

Routine testsRoutine tests are performed on MO resistors as well as on as-sembled arrester units and accessories. The most important type tests data is verified on all batches of MO resistors, thus verifying catalogue data.

Tests on MO resistorsEnergy withstand test on all blocksEach individual MO resistor passes three energy test cycles with cooling in-between. In each cycle, the injected energy is in excess of the rated energy capability. Blocks with in-sufficient energy capability are automatically rejected.

Classification and inspectionEach individual MO resistor is classified at 1 mA (d.c.) and 10 kA (8/20 µs) and the voltages are printed on each block together with a batch identification. Finally all blocks are visually inspected.

Accelerated life test on samplesPower losses after 1 000 hours calculated from a test with shorter duration (approximately 300 hours) at an elevated temperature of 115 °C at 1.05 times Uc shall not exceed the losses at start of the test. Batches in which unapproved blocks appear are rejected.

Energy capability test on samplesValidation of repetitive charge transfer rating (Qrs), based on the same sampling and test procedure and criteria as the IEC 60099-4 type test for station class. The samples are repre-sentative of the highest residual voltage of MO resistors from the individual batch in order to verify the statistical quality of each produced batch of all sizes of MO resistors. Batches which do not fulfill the criteria are rejected.

Impulse current test on samplesSelected blocks are subjected to two 100kA current impulses (4/10 µs) at spaced intervals.

Other sample testsIn addition to the above, low current characteristics, pro-tection characteristics, power losses and capacitance are checked to verify the inherent MO resistor parameters.

Tests on assembled mechanical unitsRoutine tests on units fulfil the demands of both IEC 60099-4 and ANSI/IEEE C62.11. Each arrester has a unique serial number.

Guaranteed residual voltageThe residual voltage at 10 kA, 8/20 µs impulse current of each unit is calculated as the sum of the residual voltages for all blocks connected in series in the unit.

The residual voltage of the complete arrester is the sum of the residual voltages for its units.

Tightness check (only for EXLIM and TEXLIM arresters)During manufacture, a vacuum is drawn on the internal volume and then dry air is pumped in, together with a small amount of helium tracer gas, before sealing off the unit. A leakage test is performed by placing each unit in a vacuum chamber connected to a He-spectrometer. Maximum permis-sible leakage rate of Helium is 0.0001 mbarl/s at a pressure difference of 0.1 MPa as a pass/ no pass test.

Power frequency reference voltage Reference voltage is measured on each arrester unit.

Internal coronaThe satisfactory absence of partial discharge is checked on each unit at 0.9 times Ur. A steady internal corona level of not greater than 10 pC is required in a pass/no-pass test.

Grading currentThe total leakage current passing through the arrester unit is measured at Uc for information only.

Power lossesPower loss is measured at Uc on each unit verifying that the thermal performance is in compliance with performed type tests.

Test reportsRoutine test reports are filed and are available on request.

Tests on accessories

Surge counters and monitorsAll such devices are routinely function-tested before leaving the factory.

1) The continuous operating voltages Uc (as per IEC) and MCOV (as per IEEE) differ only due to deviations in type test procedures. Uc has to be considered only when the actual system voltage is higher than the tabulated. Any arrester with Uc higher than or equal to the actual system voltage divided by √3 can be selected.

2) With prior duty equal to the thermal energy rating of 5 kJ/kV (Ur)

3) Arresters for system voltages 36 kV or below can be supplied, on request, when the order also includes arresters for higher system voltages.

Arresters with lower or higher rated voltages may be available on request for special applications.

PEXLIM R-YShipping data

Each crate contains a certain number of arrester units and accessories for assembly and erection. A packing list is at-tached externally on each crate.

Each separate crate is numbered and the numbers of all crates and their contents are listed in the shipping specifica-

tion. ABB reserves the right to pack arresters in the most effective/economic combination. Alternate or non-standard crates may involve additional charges.

The table above is to be seen as an approximation and specific data for deliveries may differ from the values given.

Protection of switchgear, transformers and other equipment in high voltage systems against atmospheric and switching overvoltages.

− in areas with high lightning intensity and high energy requirements.

− where grounding or shielding conditions are poor or incomplete.

Superior where low weight, reduced clearances, flexible mounting, non-fragility and additional personnel safety is required.Major component in PEXLINKTM concept for transmission line protection.

EXCOUNTMonitoring the health of surge arresters

Surge arresters present a high impedance at normal service voltage such that they behave as an insulator for the major-ity of their life. This is necessary to assure a long life for the arrester itself as well as stability of the electrical network as a whole. A deterioration of an arrester’s insulating proper-ties is therefore important to detect early before the situation becomes acute.

In order to truly evaluate the health of an arrester, testing of the kind made as routine during manufacture would need to be performed. However, such testing is not practical to make in the field and removal of the arrester to a HV lab is deemed uneconomic. Instead some kind of in-service diagnostic is required.

Surge registrationThe primary reason for the use of surge counters on modern gapless ZnO arresters is to check if a particular transmission line or phase suffers from an exceptionally high number of overvoltages leading to arrester operation — lightning faults on a line, for example. If this is the case, whilst it validates the need for the arresters, use of some preventative counter-measures may be warranted to limit the number of surges. A sudden increase in the counting rate may also indicate an internal arrester fault, in which case the arrester should be investigated further.

However, simple surge counters tell only part of the story, as they only register the number of surges according to their op-erating characteristic. The user therefore has no way of telling the magnitude of the surge and if it was significant, nor when it occurred and if it was coincident with a system event.

Leakage current measurementSurge counters can be complimented with the facility to mea-sure leakage currents (total and/or resistive), with the intention of monitoring and diagnosing the condition of the arrester and its state of fitness for continued service. However it is impor-tant to understand the validity of the information provided.

At continuous operating voltage (Uc), a metal-oxide varistor acts as a capacitor, leading to a predominantly capacitive component of current and a significantly smaller resistive part. For a complete surge arrester, the capacitive current is further dependent on stray capacitances, pollution currents on the insulator surface, number of varistor columns in parallel and the actual operating voltage. Meanwhile the small resistive component of the leakage current is temperature and voltage dependant.

Since the capacitive component of the current dominates so greatly, the total leakage current measured on a basic mA-meter will be very sensitive to the installation; making inter-pretation of the readings difficult. Furthermore, the capacitive current does not change significantly due to deterioration of the voltage-current characteristic of the surge arrester. Con-sequently, measurement of capacitive current cannot reliably indicate the condition of metal-oxide arresters. Nevertheless, increasing values may be of some use in indicating that clean-ing of the insulators is necessary.

Well-designed and tested, ABB surge arresters are maintenance-free and can reasonably be expected to have a long service life. Nevertheless, considering the type of expensive equipment which an arrester is protecting, together with how costly and devastating an unplanned power outage can be, there are good reasons for “monitoring” the condition of arresters.


EXCOUNTMonitoring the health of surge arresters

Diagnostic planA surge arrester does not contain any moving parts or items that can break. Consequently there is nothing to maintain, adjust, correct or repair, which is why there is normally no need to perform any form of periodical checking or monitor-ing. In general, a correctly chosen and installed arrester is maintenance free during its entire lifetime. A correctly chosen arrester in this context means that its electrical and mechani-cal characteristics are matched to actual service conditions.

Nonetheless, since external factors can place stresses on the arrester, potentially leading to its deterioration and ultimate overload, it may be prudent to draw up a schedule for regular checks. Such consideration is all the more important if an unplanned outage is unacceptable for reasons of system stability or economics. The older the arrester, the more regular these checks may need to be, since the statistical risk for overload increases with age.

As a guide, the following strategy is proposed to be made at regular intervals as required and determined by site availability and importance:

− Visual inspection and possible cleaning − Diagnostics in advance of the designated lighting season and

thereafter following periods with bad weather conditions. − Diagnostics after special fault conditions causing flashover in

the network or TOV’s of high amplitude and/or long duration. Because of their nature, old-style gapped arresters should be removed as soon as possible as part of a scheduled re-placement program. Their age and inherent design does not warrant detailed evaluation. Early models of gapless arrest-ers may require additional visual checks to look for signs of mechanical or physical deterioration as well as monitoring of the internals. Newly purchased arresters can also benefit from diagnostic monitoring right from first installation since this permits easy trend analysis to detect potential deterioration later on in its service life.

Instead, it is generally recognized (IEC 60099-5) that the only reliable indicator for the condition of a gapless arrester that can be assessed during normal service is to measure the resistive component of the leakage current (or estimate it from the 3rd harmonic). The obtained value may then be compared with the maximum allowable resistive current as given by the manufacturer under prevailing service conditions i.e. tempera-ture and applied voltage.

Remote reading with EXCOUNT-II

If a metal-oxide varistor ages or is damaged by impulses etc, the arrester resistive leakage current, and hence power losses, increase permanently. This may result in an increase in temperature, which in turn, increases the leakage current and so on until a so-called thermal runway occurs. Early detec-tion of a possible harmful increase may prevent a failure and subsequent unplanned shutdown. Hence, to provide true diagnostics, a good monitor must be able to detect the ar-rester leakage current and isolate and measure the resistive component flowing internally.


EXCOUNTWhen safety comes first

EXCOUNT draws upon over 75 years of experience by ABB in the development of arresters and associated accessories. Safety, functionality and longevity are key elements which are given priority in selection and design of components. In stark contrast to many other competing products, EXCOUNT has not neglected short-circuit safety which lies inherent in the design concept.

The EXCOUNT family is characterized by:

Highest personnel safety − Explosion-proof for short-circuit currents up to 65 kA. − Same safe performance as ABB arresters.

Negligible residual voltage − Does not reduce protection margins. − Minimized risk for injury in case of accidental contact

during surges.

Maintenance free − Sealed components. − Requires no external power supply.

Long life − Moulded components, non-sensitive to humidity or

temperature variations.

Universal application − All makes and types of gapless surge arresters. − All weather and temperature conditions.

DesignThe use of an impulse current transformer with a single-turn primary ensures that the voltage drop across the counter is negligible, even at the highest impulse currents encountered in service. This leads to added personnel safety and no in-crease in the protection level of the arrester. Since no gaps or series impedance are used, there is no risk of internal arcing and consequent explosive failure in the event of a short-circuit following an arrester failure.

One further common feature with the entire EXCOUNT family is that all internal components are fully encapsulated in poly-mer. This provides sealing to IP67, which ensures no harm-ful ingress of dust or moisture as well as providing personal safety through complete protection against contact with the internals.

EXCOUNT is available in different variants, depending on the user’s needs: simple, basic or extensive.


Surge counter EXCOUNT-C

Design featuresEXCOUNT-C is to be fitted in the earth circuit between the arrester and ground. For simplicity, the EXCOUNT-C does not have a termination point for the earth cable. Instead an opening is provided to draw the entire earth conductor from the arrester completely through and down to ground. In case the conductor is too large to fit through the hole, an optional conductor kit may be ordered separately.

The secondary circuit is connected to a mechanical counting relay and all components are totally sealed in polymer. A viewing window permits easy reading of the six-digit cyclometer-type counter.

Surge registrationThe counting threshold for EXCOUNT-C is adapted for gap-less surge arresters. Only pulses that are considered signifi-cant to the arrester capability and life are therefore registered.

Maintenance freeA robust plastic casing is fitted over the encapsulated inter-nals, which makes EXCOUNT-C non-sensitive to humidity or temperature variations. It can be exposed to all environments regardless of weather and temperature conditions. The current transformer secondary output is sufficient for driving the coun-ter and an external supply source is hence not needed.

EXCOUNT-C is a simple surge counter with all the essentials for easy installation and highest personnel safety. The counter is maintenance free; powered by the surge current and suitable for all weather and temperature conditions.

Surge counter EXCOUNT-Iwith mA-meter

Design features.As with all surge counters from ABB, EXCOUNT-I does not negatively affect the residual voltage of the arrester. EXCOUNT-I is housed in a sealed, weather-proof case, suit-able for outdoor use and proven to match the short circuit capability of the arresters. EXCOUNT-I has been designed for highest personal safety and has been successfully short circuit tested at 65 kA.

EXCOUNT-I requires no external power supply as it incorpo-rates its own internal power source in the form of a high-efficiency capacitor charged by solar cells.

EXCOUNT-I is a surge counter with basic leakage current measurement function. The counter provides a number of unique features such as short-circuit safety and a well proven electronic display which is easy to read, even in direct sunlight. EXCOUNT-I is specially designed for use with all makes and types of gapless arresters and in diverse environments.

The electronic display is of Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Display type. This ensures highest readability, even in direct sunlight. The display is Bi-stable, which means that power is only re-quired during refresh of the display.

Surge registrationEXCOUNT-I registers the surge each time the arrester has discharged a current over 10 A. The accumulated number of surges is continuously shown on the electronic display.

Leakage current measurementABB’s unique design ensures that total leakage current through the arrester can be measured without risking personnel safety.

The measurement is initiated by triggering a light sensitive di-ode using a standard laser pointer. This will initiate EXCOUNT-I to start measuring the total leakage current for several cycles and shortly thereafter display the average value (in mA). The counter will then automatically return to its normal state and display number of impulses. Thus, the measurement can be made at a discreet distance without coming into direct con-tact with the equipment.

Maintenance freeEXCOUNT-I is a maintenance free product in outdoor ap-plications. The display and solar panels might however need to be wiped off before measurement in extremely polluted conditions.

Surge arrester monitor EXCOUNT-II

Design featuresEXCOUNT-II is a unique monitoring system, which can be used as an aid to assess the health of the entire substation by monitoring surges transmitted in and out of the network. Each surge arrester is fitted with a sensor, which detects the total number of discharges, the surge amplitude, date and time of occurrence, as well as the leakage current through the arrester. The measurements can be remotely read when con-venient with the aid of a hand-held transceiver (and optional external antenna).

Remote reading provides increased personnel safety com-pared with conventional counters. With a communication dis-tance of up to 60 m (120 m with external antenna), the person does not necessarily have to even be inside the substation perimeter, so saving the need to arrange entry permits or have electrically trained personnel perform the work.

EXCOUNT-II is our top-of-the line product combining outstanding looks with the most extensive and powerful features. Included are a variety of surge counting features together with all the essential leakage current measurement functions. EXCOUNT-II enables users to keep track of overvoltages in the network as well as providing state-of-the art on-line condition monitoring of arresters.

The measured data can then be transferred to a computer for statistical analysis. Included with EXCOUNT-II is specially designed software which facilitates download of the measured data from the transceiver and permits analysis and reporting of the collected information.

Surge registrationEXCOUNT-II does more than just count surges. It also regis-ters the date and time as well as amplitude of the surge each time the arrester has discharged a current over 10 A. Time and amplitude measurement gives the user better information about overvoltages in the network and the operation of the arrester.

Leakage current measurement and condition monitoringEXCOUNT-II gives the user the possibility to measure both the total leakage current as well as the resistive component of the current through the arrester. Measurement of the resis-tive current gives a good indication of the arrester’s condition and fitness for continued service. The measurement method employed is based on third-harmonic analysis which is considered the most reliable measuring method for condition monitoring according to IEC 60099-5.

Safe and secureThe sensor is housed in a sealed, weather-proof case, suitable for outdoor use and proven to match the short-circuit capability of the arrester to which it is connected. The sensor requires no external power supply as it incorporates its own internal power source in the form of a high-efficiency capacitor automatically charged by solar cells and electric field probe.
